Main

Sergio Ruiz-Carmona

I am currently a Research Officer and Bioinformatician at the Baker Institute, under the supervision of professor Mike Inouye. My research interests are broad and involve mainly the relationship between genetic variants and their effect on protein structures.

I carried out my MSc and PhD in Barcelona in the Barril Lab, where I worked with different structure-based drug design methods with the aim to improve drug design for non-standard targets.
